Lonely Hearts Racketeer Margot Wagner - 1944

FULL
TEXT: Chicago – Assistant Postal Inspector M. L. Goldsmith has announced the
arrest of a German-born, middle aged woman whom he said in the last four years
had obtained large sums of money from an uncounted number of prospective
husbands through an alleged marriage swindle.

Goldsmith
said the post-office department had received complaints that the woman, whom he
said used a half a dozen aliases, took at least $50,000 from 10 men who met her
after she had answered their advertisements for a “German wife or companion.”

The
inspector said that most of the victims, apparently of German ancestry, had
advertised in German language newspapers in the east and midwest. In each case,
he said, the woman would convince the prospective husband the government
intended to freeze their assets. She persuaded them to put their cash into safe
deposit vaults, Goldsmith related, and then would steal the funds and
disappear. He said many more than the 10 known men may have been victimized by
the woman.

The
woman’s name, as given in a suppressed federal indictment charging mail fraud
here, is Margot Wagner, said Assistant U. S. Attorney George G. Kelly.
